HIGH SCHOOL BAND HAS 36 MEMBERS CONCERT TO BE GIVEN ON MAY 8 CLASS PLAY IS WELL RECEIVED SENIORS PLEASE AUDI ENCE THURSDAY . BOXING MATCH IS WELL ATTENDED Bight Baota at Polly Prim WedMw day Night Satisfy About 700 Fans The boxing match at the Polly Prim Pavilion Wednesday night, April 26, was well attended by nearly 700 fight fans who certainly got a wonderful evening's entertainment. Jabber Young officiated as referee; while the judges were Robert Howard of Chicago and W. R. Hamburg of Fox Lake, and Carl Bickler was time, keeper while Dr. Wells was attending physician. The first bout was between Kid Nagel, Ft Sheridan, and Walter Lickey, Chicago, and it was a lively give and take affair, ending in a draw at the third round and Kid Nagel getting the decision in the fourth. The second boat, between John Bruchm, Long Lake, and Joe Drinka, Waukegan, was so fast and furious that Drinka won a knockout before the first bell. Bruchm has the goods but didn't get. started. The third bout tetween Ray Koeler, Ft. Sheridan, 13o lbs., and Dick Thibedau, Grayslake, was given to Thibedau by the judges at the end of the third round. The fourth bout is one that will be long remembered as the beefy heavyweight wrestler and champion tumbler, Harry Petzke, Antioch, attempt ed in his matador efforts to land just one hay-maker on the dusky smoke artist from Jack Johnson's athletic "The Patsy," a Well-Choeen *I«J, Directed By Miss Edna Geiat, Draws Packed House The curiosity which was aroused by the posters about town advertising •The Patsy" was satified on Thursday evening, April 19, when "Hie Patsy a l»lay given by the senior class of the McHenry Community high school was put on at the auditorium. Once more the high school seniors won laurels for themselves "when they put on this interesting play before a packed house. Fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers and the public in general were eager to see and hear the young people and gathered early in readiness for the expected treat Every seat in the auditorium sold for the evening and chairs were brought in for use at the rear of the room. The audience was, also, a very receptive and appreciative one, judging from the applause which denoted the approval of the large assembly and the ripples of laughter occasioned by the witticisms of the actors. Play Is Well Chosen The play was a well-chosen (me with many interesting parts interspersed with bits of humor and each one of the characters in the play filled their role in a very able manner and j camp( wh0 travels under the name of cannot be overprised for their excel- • Schuyler Tankerson. After many lent work. nine counts Petzke was held on his Miss Edna Geist, director of the play, was presented with a gift from chair until the decision was given the colored man. Petzke is a whale for Preparations Are Under Way For A Wonderful Program At Audi tori am With the coming of spring, the opening of buds, the refreshing breezes, comes the feeling that all nature is being aroused. The Community high school stands abreast of the times in looking toward one of the outstanding events of tiie school calendar, namely the band concert on Mky 8. From the day that school convenes in September until it dismisses in/ June, one can hear a group of youitg would-be artists patiently at work. School authorities believe music to be a profitably form of activity and as a result Ijave justly given it .an important place in the curriculum. ' fiaSd Is Better Than The "Gang** C. D. Greenleaf, a nationally prominent figure in music circles, says: "Music is a healthful influence and parents snow are learning that the band ir better than the *'gang.' I am more than ever impressed with the importance of music in the lives of our young school people. It Remonstrates teamwork, discipline, Tjerserverahce and gives evidence of what playing in a band does for the youth as a builder of character j in addition to its cultural advantages." Dr. R. Si Copeland, United States senator from New York, and for many years health commissioner of New York city, believes that rhythm and pleasurable emotions excited by inspiring music have their effect upon j health. They lead to increased action of the heart and deeper breathing and so> improve the health and vigor of the individual. But it is the general sense of well being and the enjoyment that one gets from his own music that does the most, physically and spiritually. Probably one of the best ways to care for a boy's leisure time is to place a musical instrument into his hands, give him a band uniform when he attains a certain degree of efficiency, make him feel important because he is doing an honorable piece of work. Some one has said, "The boy who blows a horn will not blow a safe." Band Has M Member* Our local music teachers believe in their task, they believe in their young musicians. Mr. Koerner has thirtysix members in (his band and they, tothe cast during the evening s program: pUnjshment but as a boxer the colored in appreciation of her work in making the play a success. The student producing staff, consisted of Miss Cecelia Thennes as assistant director, Anthony Wirtz as prompter and Charles Vycital as business manager. Specialties Between Acts The special features between the acts, which added much to the enjoyment of the evening's entertainment were a clown's dance by Misses MHnnie Ferwerda and Lillian Stoffel, dressed in costume and a dancc by Marion Kalin and last, but not least, a carpenter's special by E. A. Koerner, who played several selections on a saw. Mr. Koerner is the wellknown and popular instructor of music at the high school and has never been known to fail in" extracting music from anything he ever attempted to •play, even to a saw. "ITie Patsy" was a three-act play with the scene laid in the attractive man had it all over him. It seemed to be the expression of the audience that they would like to see Tankerson in an even match, as he looked particularly good. Fifth bout, Billie Blue vs Howard Craft, Grayslake, was won by decision at the third round for Blue. Blue shows much improvement over last week and he is rapidly advancing into the ranks of the best for his weight The sixth bout was sort of an emergency bout between .Jim Hull, Tampa,' Fla., and Leland Moore, Genoa, at 124 lbs. The referee stopped the bout in the second round, as Moore was no match for Hull, who has had seme experience, is handy with his mitts and a blow has no effect on him. Yes, Hull is a boy for yoti to watch. Seventh bout, Jack Delaney vs Joe Topolski, Ft.

The part of Mrs. Harrington who ruled with a sharp tongue and a flood of tears was very ably taken by Ann Popp, while Mr. Harrington, the longsuffering, who in the end asserted his rights in straightening out the affairs of his household, was very well enacted by Earl Dowell. Hie part of the Patsy, the younger clever, but less favored daughter of a socially ambitious mother, was taken by Alvina Freund. She was in love with Tony Anderson, whose part was taken by Joseph Barbian, who was himself in love with the Patsy's older Bister, Grace, who in the play was represented by Rosalind Nye. The Patsy was not the one to suffer in with Adams getting the decision in the third round, although another round and Halderman would most likely have knocked Adams out. But Adams has had more training. The crowd was well satisfied and it goes without saying that if you want a seat for the next week's match that you had better come early. HeaxUiners for Next Week Bud Beyer vs. George Emro, weight 155 lbs., will most likely be one of the best bouts of the evening. Jim Hull, Tampa, Fla., n. Joe Brown, weight 180 lbs., will be a lively scrap if Brown is able to stay in the ring for the three rounds. Billie Blue vs. Joe Giske, Chicago, weight 112 lbs. Billie Blue, the ever popular Polly Prim A. C. star, is matched with good stuff all the time silence, however, and with her | and ig certainly showing the goods father's help she finally gets exactly what she wants. Billy Caldwell, to whom Grace finally becomes engaged, was enacted by James Frisby, while Patrick O'Flaherty was enacted by Edwin Michels, Sadie Buchanan was represented by Grace Martin and Trip Busty, the taxi driver, was impersonated by Charles Vycital.

Lake county will lose nineteen and one-half miles of concrete roads, a total of about $600,000 worth of paving, on account of failure to secure the necessary right of way, it was stated in Waukegan last week by R. M. Lobdell, county highway superin tendent. The routes on which work will be cancelled are No. 172, Libertyvill to Gunee; No. 59, Volo to Ingleside; No. 176, Mundelein to Wauconda. According to Mr. Walsh, general manager of the S. & H. Construction company, cement pouring by that company planned to start last Monday. The strip of pavement from McHenry northwest towards Ringwood, a distance of about two and one-quarter miles will be finished first. It is expected that about a month or a little more will be "rej quired to lay the above mentioned strip, after which the company will move their working headquarters from Ringwood, where they are now located, to Richmond, probably about June 1. * Bill for foreclosure and petition for a receiver was filed last week in the circuit court at Waukegan, by Attorney William Behanna, of the firm of Runyard & Behanna, against the Antioch Motor Sales, the company in which the two partners are charged with embezzlement of $16,000 by the Industrial Acceptance corporation.
